Ya get deeper next time and look up some bait recipes. You should catch a lot more kokes.

Post by: Sneaky Squirrel on September 23, 2022, 08:22:56 AM: I disagree with you Bigbuck. The mid 90's in Merwin was a great fishery for Kok's. Since the introduction in 95', the fishing has went down hill. Not saying it was all from the Tigers but i do feel they had an impact because there was a stretch when you wouldn't catch a squaw. To me, that means there eating something else....
Still fun to get out and chase them but we use to limit out in an hour with solid fish(16"+) and throw little ones back.
